Protective Strategies and Tactics for EMS
For Emergency Medical Service Providers, our methods emphasize escape, and when escape is not possible, immobilization and control of the violent subject.
Tactics utilize breaking the attackers balance in order to establish a situation where the EMS provider can escape the violent encounter. Here Todd Nolen uses a shin lock to break the attackers base.
